The 10 Driving Commandments For Oneonta, NY

At least drive the speed limit to keep traffic flowing.  Don’t even think about driving 15 to 20.

If you are one of the very brave who will dare to turn left from Elm Street onto Main then you either have a death wish or are a major daredevil since there's no way to see oncoming traffic.

Be VERY AWARE that college students always think they have the pedestrian right of way when it comes to crossing the street.  Much of the time, they don’t even look before crossing the street because they are used to having the right of way on campus.

There’s no way you’re getting through the green arrow to turn left from Rt. 28 on Oneonta’s Southside onto Lettis Highway unless you are one of the first five cars.

Four-way stops operate on a first come-first served basis!  Don't jump ahead of your proper turn and proceed in the order of arrival at the stop.

When it comes to merging at the Southside Mall, see #5.  This is not New York City so no cut-throat driving!

If you’re a visitor in town and don’t know where you’re going, you might want to google map it first so you aren’t one of those drivers going 15mph because you don’t know where you’re going.

Learn to park evenly WITHIN the lines of the parking spot so others can get into their car and not ding your door in the process.

We all hate driving on the horrible sections of I88 but if you stay in the left lane to avoid the bump, bump, bump, expect to get passed on the right.

Remember that turn signals exist for a reason.  Are you really that lazy or is your attention somewhere else completely?  Either way, YIKES!
